    June 4, 2021 -- An increasing number of countries are facing growing levels of acute food insecurity, reversing years of development gains. Even before COVID-19 reduced incomes and disrupted supply chains, chronic and acute hunger were on the rise due to various factors including conflict, socio-economic conditions, natural hazards, climate change and pests. COVID-19 impacts have led to severe and widespread increases in global food insecurity, affecting vulnerable households in almost every country, with impacts expected to continue through 2021 and into 2022.

    Liberia, Africa

    Together with reductions in indirect taxes on food imports, cash for work programs were one of the main responses implemented by African governments following the food, fuel, and financial crisis of recent years. The main objective of those programs was to help the poor cope with the various shocks by increasing their net earnings through community-level work paid for under the programs. Yet it is unclear whether these cash for work programs indeed reached their intended beneficiaries and to what degree they generated other, potentially long-term beneficial impacts.

    Liberia

    Liberia is a rich country, badly
    managed. This is a favorite comment of President Ellen
    Johnson-Sirleaf and an accurate one. The bad management is
    well-known, though perhaps not its duration and depth.
    Created in 1847, the country is far older than almost all
    others in sub- Saharan Africa. But for most of this time, it
    was ruled by an elite descended from African-American
    settlers who ignored or exploited the indigenous people. The

    Liberia

    Fourteen years of civil conflict
    (1989-2003) have destroyed Liberia's social and
    economic infrastructure and brought the economy nearly to a
    halt. Workers who came of age during the conflict are
    largely unskilled, and the supply of workers exceeds demand
    by a substantial margin. The negative effects of
    unemployment, underemployment, and low productivity on
    economic growth have made employment the most urgent demand
